Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was clean, nice two queen bed quarters with good quality beds, modern but average size. The bathroom was a shower only and it was okay. The water pressure was too low and the heat wasn’t very strong for the water. The pool is listed on the property as an added amenity but it is located in the back outside and it isn’t of the best quality. They also have an $20 a day parking fee so consider that as a miscellaneous add on to the total of your stay.. aside from that it wasn't bad if I had to I’d stay again in a pinch. I just don’t believe the prices matched the quality but it was okay. It was nice, it was clean, felt safe, close to things, and it had free breakfast, and on sight security that walks around at night looking at the cars which is a plus.
